I find I can log in to the message board on my Android phone but cannot type into the message text box. Is this a generic problem? It used to work OK on the old site. At present (of course) I'm typing from home computer...

Does anyone know what diameter thehandlebars should be on a 1935 ES2 - 7/8 or 1 inch?

Can anyone tell me what the letters CT stand for following the serial number on a 48 model 18 motor.

Hello all,

I find it important to share with you my very unpleasant experience with a 2010 Norton Commando 961 Cafe Racer.

As you may know, these models are protoypes that should not have been sold to customers.

I suppose many will have seen this model that is still up sale. Personally I think it is far from new looking at the pictures and being advertised as '74. Also, no mention of any provenance to support the claim.

Good Afternoon All.

Hi All

I am looking for a speedo cable for my 1934 inter. It is the type that goes down the the right angle drive on the front hub. I measured it up as needing to be 24inchs long. Does anyone know of a source for these?

Hi Chris/Peter,

Hurray! Today I had my first 'proper' ride on my re-commisioned 1937 16H after 8 months ownership. Not restored - seems to be very original and scarcely any wear. It was last taxed in 1961 and been dry stored ever since.

Hi,

I have a bike that has been put together from many parts. The frame seems to be a 1953 Featherbed, wideline. The engine is from an ES2. Otherwise the bike looks like a 1959 ES2, but in reality it is a bastard.

Hi,

Appreciate any help on this one. Rebuilding a '73 Roadster and I am trying to source details on colour schemes used for this year model. Also, if anyone knows a good provider of paint I would be grateful.

Great new interview with Suart Garner by Nick Berkele:

I have just tried to send a message, to another member, however, I am informed that I do not have an e-mail address, and that I should edit my personal details. I most certainly do have such an address, and, it is correctly listed in my details.

I saw your great Domiracer at the Stafford Show, want to do a similar project and to get some top tips from you. Best regards, Ian.

Has anyone bought any chrome mudguards from India and if so are they anygood. If not any suggestions.

Firstly hello, i have just bought my first Norton, i am just enquiring to see if anyone has any idea of a period front end which will fit the mk11 commando?

OK finally got the copper fuel lines on my 16H finished. It looks OK, not concours, but then the rest of the bike isn't concourse either.

The front page did advise Classifieds were not available during the upgrade of the site. Unless I have missed something not only is that notice now missing (so I assumed all was back to normal) but the Classifieds are still missing too now.

I know this is not the correct area but I cannot find how to put in a new event.

I have just tried fitting progressive front springs in my 1960 Dominator 99.

Hi everyone,

Just got round to painting my tank on the 650ss thanks for all the brilliant advice on the paint colour looks amazing

Commando slowed to a halt just as we'd entered an underpass on the A3 over the bank holiday

Bloody frightening to say the least, not a good place to breakdown.

Evening everyone,

Anyone know the speedometer model number for a '48 ES2? My spares list shows : B2/545

I am assuming it's a Smith's speedo?
